Computer science team developing system to ensure privacy in electronic health records

Researchers want to make data available to secondary analysisTwo University of Texas at Arlington researchers are leading a collaborative National Science Foundation project to protect personal, electronic healthcare data while ensuring that the anonymous records can be used for secondary analysis and improved health care. Associate Professor Heng Huang (PI) and Professor Guatam Das (Co-PI), both of the UT Arlington Computer Science & Engineering Department, have teamed to develop the new computational model that will de-identify information in electronic health records.
